Great experience - deliver was faster than expected. Thank you!!!

This was the best transport company I have used from start to finish. Everything was smooth and the people were great.

I had a great experience going with SGT to ship a vehicle approximately 1400 miles. They arrived on time, loaded up quickly, and met me on the receiving end at my convenience.

They made it easy to transport a car from Oregon to Alabama and returned calls fairly quickly. Thank you for the efficient service.

This is the second time I used SGT and I was just as happy with my service this time as the last time. Very responsive and competitive prices.

Was great all around experience, driver was great and professional at pick up. Good outfit to work with

How do I ship a car from one state to another?

You can transport a car from one state to another in several ways: use a tow dolly or trailer, hire a professional driver, drive it yourself, send it by train. However, the easiest, quickest, most convenient and affordable way is state to state auto transport.

How much does it cost to ship a car to another state?

The average cost for a state to state vehicle shipping company is $0.70 per mile for 1000-1500 miles. The cost to ship a car to another state depends on several factors. Some of these factors include distance, pick-up date, route, vehicle make and model, transport method, seasonality, vehicle condition, and available discounts.

How long does it take to ship a car to another state?

On average, distances of up to 200 miles take 1-2 days, and distances of 2,000+ miles can take 7-9 days. Many factors can affect the time it takes to ship a vehicle to another state, for example, the weather, road construction, traffic, detours, and driver’s hours are some common reasons.

Distance

When you ship a car to another state, longer distances tend to cost more overall, but there is usually a discounted cost per mile.

Pick-up date

If you can be flexible around the car pick-up date, you’re more likely to get a fair quote. Booking in advance will also secure the best possible price for shipping your car to another state.

Route

This relates to the roads and highways the carrier will use when transporting a vehicle to another state. Increased congestion in highly populated areas could impact shipping costs. Other factors include adverse weather, road construction, and road conditions.

Vehicle (Make and Model)

You need to provide exact vehicle specifications when you transport a car to another state. The carrier needs to know how much space is required. Longer, taller, and modified vehicles may cost more.

Vehicle condition

You will get a better shipping price to transport a vehicle to another state if your vehicle is running. Inoperable vehicles require a winch and other equipment, which add to the cost.

Transport method

Open car transport is the industry standard and the cheapest way to send a car to another state. Enclosed auto transport provides extra protection as the transport trailer is surrounded on all sides. This increases the cost but gives you complete peace of mind if your car is unique, luxury, custom, antique, or classic.

Seasonality

The cost to transport a car to another state varies considerably, depending on the time of year. Holidays, for example, can be an expensive time to ship a car to another state.

Discount

Discounts are available for certain customers who want to transport a car to another state. These include members of the military (both active and retired), snowbirds, and students. Check with our shipping advisors whether you are eligible.
